| Obverse description | A seated allegorical female figure, draped and diademed, faces three-quarters to the right, holding a balance scale in her extended right hand, symbolising commerce and justice. To the lower left of the figure, a sailing ship is depicted in the field, evoking trade and maritime commerce. At the lower right, a barrel and scattered produce are visible, further emphasising mercantile themes. The date 1860 appears in the exergue below the central device.
